Amusement ride with gondolas mounted on a support and having rows of seats mounted by Cardan suspension
The invention relates to an amusement ride having a base (1) to which is fastened at least one pivotable or rotatable support (2) for holding rows of seats (4) mounted in gondolas (3, 8) on the support, the gondolas (3, 8) being movable on the support (2) at least in the vertical direction in relation to the base, and the rows of seats (4) being rotatable or pivotable in the gondolas (3, 8) in at least two planes which are perpendicular to each other. According to the invention, the support (2) contains at least two gondolas (3, 8) which are formed by frames (5, 6, 7) which interlock in a Cardan suspension, as a result of which the rows of seats (4) are mounted by Cardan suspension in the gondolas (3, 8) and are movable in three planes which are perpendicular to one another. While one of the gondolas (8) can be loaded and unloaded in its starting position, other gondolas (3) fastened to the support can be operated in a predefined movement program.

Attraction for entertainment rides
The present invention relates to an amusement ride (1), such as a fairground attraction or an amusement park attraction. The attraction comprises a main carrier (10) rotatable about a first, substantially vertical axis of rotation (R1), a first drive for rotation of the main carrier about the first axis of rotation, at least one passenger carrier (20) which is rotatable about a second, substantially vertical, rotation axis (R2). The passenger carrier is attached to the main carrier at a distance from the first axis of rotation and has a second drive for rotation of the passenger carrier about the second axis of rotation. The passenger carrier is provided with one or more passenger carrier arms with a seat carrier (30) with one or more seats. Each seat carrier is rotatable about a third axis of rotation (R3), which is at an angle of substantially 30 to 70 degrees with respect to the second axis of rotation.
PIVOT COASTER SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS
An apparatus for providing lateral movement on a roller coaster includes a main chassis, a passenger chassis, and a hub. The main chassis is configured to ride on a track. The passenger chassis is rotatably supported on the main chassis via the hub. The hub and main chassis are behind the passenger chassis. The hub allows the passenger chassis to perform a full lateral rotation relative to the main chassis.
